This is why I love Wikipedia.

So, as I may have mentioned, there was a news story on this morning about a bunch of people getting various bits eaten off by piranha. Did you know it's only two wikijumps from a type of factual carnivorous South American fish to the most famous fictional international crime syndicate?

From there you can go in direct steps to Persian cat to Khorasan to Seljuk Turks to Alp Arslan to Manzikert. You can start out reading about fish and wind up reading about the capture of a Byzantine emperor.

  1. You can start out reading about fish and wind up reading about the capture of a Byzantine emperor.

    You mean there are other ways to read stuff?

  2. When you said "Fictional crime syndicate" all I could think of was the Pirhana brothers.

  3. Your stream-of-consciousness dreams actually do have a basis in your real life, I think!
